This is a good time of year to contemplate death and the inevitability of change and decay. The leaves fall and the flowers fade; the cornstalk withers and the punkin is a-rotting on the vine. Christmas snow hasn’t come and Indian summer is gone like Frank Sinatra. This is a good time of year to identify with creepy black-and-white movies of yore with the inevitable bell tolling at graveside encircled by ravens, and the time is ripe for a musical group that encapsulates said black-and-white bell tower. Enter Seattle’s newest group, The Nine Tailors, a group composed of acoustic poets from the band Jubilee.

MP3: The Rural Alberta Advantage – Don’t Haunt This Place

Heading home to Seattle for the Holidays?! Why not rendezvous with some friends and hear your favorite WSU band open for the amazing The Rural Alberta Advantage and Blunt Mechanic at The Vera Project?!
Here’s why you should: if you’re a WSU student, and you go to the show, you have a chance to win one of only 70 vinyl copies of Yarn Owl’s forthcoming, Stay Warm EP!
All you need to do is a) go to the show, and b) send us a cool picture from the show (taken with your cell phone, digital camera, or whatever!). Just send the picture to larson at stereopathicmusic dot com.
This won’t only be fun – it’d be a great way to help Yarn Owl and ensure that they’ll be invited back to play with cool bands in Seattle!
Don’t forget to RSVP to the Facebook Event!

MP3: “Knotty Pine” Dirty Projectors and David Byrne from Dark Was the Night compilation

Fans of David Byrne woke up this morning to find an odd, yet news-laced newsletter from the former Dirty Projectors collaborator Talking Heads frontman. Byrne announced with typical quirk that his latest musical project, a collaboration with Fatboy Slim, titled Here Lies Love, will release in late February via Nonesuch Records. Read more

1. “Two Weeks”- Grizzly Bear. (though I really want to choose Southern Point, I’ll say Two Weeks because it’s such a catchy song)

I’m a little overdue on these things, so I thought I’d do a Deluxe Edition w/extra stuff.

The first track from the new Shearwater record, The Golden Archipelago, dropped today over at Matador and it’s got me excited that this next album might live up to the expectations that Rook has left me with. Give it a listen and tell us what you think.
Fugazi is one of my favorite rock bands ever. Read more
